Fostoria dhimbangunmal , gen. et sp. nov . , a new iguanodontian (Dinosauria, Ornithopoda) from the mid-Cretaceous of Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia
Globally, non-hadrosauroid iguanodontians (‘basal iguanodontians’) reached their acme in terms of diversity during the Early Cretaceous. However, Gondwanan representatives of this clade are rare and are represented in Australia only by the enigmatic Muttaburrasaurus langdoni (upper Albian; Mackunda...
